trade in value

i have a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Duramax 6.6L Crew Cab LTZ. it has 73,000 miles on it, it's lifted 6" with 35x12.5 tires and 20" rims. it has a tuner and exhaust on it. how ideal is it if i wanted to trade it in for a flat trade in a 2015 silverado 1500 with 23,000? the truck i want is marked for 42,000 dollars. i am just wondering if it's a possibility to do a flat trade and if it is how practical is it for me to ask for a flat trade?

Depends on the dealer, but most won't like all the custom mods, in fact those will hurt your trade-in value, if you've added a lot of money in modifications to your truck, you might be better off selling it to a buyer who'll give you more than any dealer would. If you're dealing with the private seller, then all you can do is make the offer and hope they like the lift kit, tuner, and 35's.
